Potential Health Effects
Skin
contact may cause reddening of the skin. The product
was
not a skin irritant or skin sensitizer in a 100 person
human
patch test.
Based
on data from animal tests, eye contact may cause eye
irritation
with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision.
Inhalation
of fluorine containing compounds released as
decomposition
products from overheated or burning product
may
cause lung irritation and pulmonary edema which require
medical
treatment.

Information
None
of the components present in this material at concentrations
equal
to or greater than 0.1% are listed by IARC, NTP, OSHA or ACGIH
as
a carcinogen.

FIRST
AID MEASURES
----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
First Aid
INHALATION
If
inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give
artificial
respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Call
a physician.
SKIN
CONTACT
The
compound is not likely to be hazardous by skin contact but
cleansing
the skin after use is advisable.
EYE
CONTACT
In
case of contact, immediately flush eyes with plenty of water
for
at least 15 minutes. Call a physician.
INGESTION
If
swallowed, do not induce vomiting. Immediately give 2 glasses
of
water. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Call
a physician.
Notes
to Physicians
Activated
charcoal mixture may be administered. To prepare
activated
charcoal mixture, suspend 50 grams activated charcoal in
400
mL water and mix thoroughly. Administer 5 mL/kg, or 350 mL
for
an average adult.

HANDLING
AND STORAGE
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Handling
(Personnel)
Perfluoropolyether
oils are considered to be inert and of
low
toxicity. However, as with all lubricants it is
important
to observe correct hygiene practices. Avoid
contact
with eyes. Avoid contact with skin. Wash thoroughly
after
handling.
Storage
Keep
container tightly closed. Do not store or consume food,
drink
or tobacco in areas where they may become contaminated with
this
material.
Keep
away from heat and flames to avoid decomposition
products.

reasonably foreseeable.
Decomposition
Heating
above 350 degC (662 degF) may form potentially toxic
fluorine
compounds. Depolymerization may occur in the
presence
of some metal oxides at temperatures above 288 degC
(550
degF). Decomposition occurs at increasing rates as
temperature
is raised above 355 degC (670 degF).
Polymerization
Polymerization
will not occur.

TOXICOLOGICAL

Animal Data
Perfluoroalkylether:
Inhalation
4 Hour ALC: >19.54 mg/L in rats
Skin
Absorption ALD: >17,000 mg/kg in rabbits
Oral
ALD: >25,000 mg/kg in rats
The
product is a mild skin and eye irritant, but is not a
skin
sensitizer in tests on animals. A single inhalation
exposure
caused nonspecific effects such as respiratory
irritation.
Exposure to thermal decomposition products
produced
irritation, irregular respiration, tremors and
increased
liver weight. Repeated inhalation exposures to
10,
100, or 1000 mg/m3 caused increased lung weights and
microscopic
particle-laden macrophages in the lungs and
lymph
nodes; this was an expected pulmonary response to high
aerosol
concentrations of an inert material. No animal test
reports
are available to define carcinogenic, developmental,
or
reproductive hazards. Tests have shown that the product
did
not cause genetic damage in bacterial cell cultures.
